The West Shore School District is offering summer remediation and acceleration courses at NO COST to students or their families this year.

Credit Recovery Courses are available for high school students to retake a class previously taken but failed by the student. These credit recovery courses contain only the essential course content and can be completed in a very condensed time frame over the six-week summer school program. All credit recovery courses will be delivered online through CAOLA, are self-paced and will be monitored by West Shore staff. 

Credit Acceleration Courses are available for high school students interested in taking a course for the first time for original course credit. These acceleration courses contain the full course content and require a greater time commitment from the student. Typical quarter (.25 credit) or semester based (.50 credit) courses can reasonably be completed within the six-week summer school program. Yearlong (1.0 credit) acceleration courses will require a substantial time commitment from the student and may necessitate eight weeks for completion. Only a limited selection of courses for acceleration are available online through CAOLA or Schoology, and these courses will be monitored by West Shore staff.  

Students enrolling in Schoology Acceleration Courses will receive information from the teacher monitor along with information posted within the Schoology course.

Students enrolling in the CAOLA online summer school courses are required to attend an online informational session on Thursday, June 10, 2021 at 10 a.m.  During this required orientation we will cover the following important topics: 

•    Genius System Log in

•    Attendance
•    Student tutorials
•    West Shore Cyber Learning Center
•    Messaging teacher and advisor

Additional information will be sent to the email addresses given on the application prior to the session.
